New Kindle DX to display approach plates?

I spotted an interesting slide from TechCrunch’s LiveBlog of the new Amazon Kindle DX introduction. That doesn’t look like a book in the above shot. There is no mention of the Kindle DX being used for anything beyond reading in the author’s notes, but a quick trip to the Amazon website found the following mention in a 5-minute video.

Hi, Eric. Yeah, that would be a nice comparison. If I don’t get around to it quickly, note that the chart on the DX screen and a printed NACO plate are almost exactly the same size. If you signup at http://www.AirBrief.com, in addition to plates and A/FDs, you can download free copies of the Airplane Flying Handbook and the Instrument Flying Handbook.

Not to worry. Full support of aviation charts is on its way from Gold Seal Ventures, LLC. We already have operational support for the Kindle 2 and are working on a prototype application for the Kindle DX that will include not only approach charts, but weather charts, sectionals, AF/D information, and “trip packs” that automatically download route information to the Kindle via Whispernet.
